Parent Located After 2-Year-Old Found Near N. 38th and Cherry in Milwaukee

Police said finding the adult ends a public identification appeal and lets officers begin welfare follow-up for the child.

Overview

  • Milwaukee police found an approximately 2-year-old boy near North 38th Street and West Cherry Street at about 11:30 a.m. on Monday, the department said.
  • Officers described the child as roughly 3 feet tall and weighing about 30–35 pounds and used male pronouns in their public notice.
  • Police said the child was safe and in good health and remained with officers while they worked to locate his family.
  • The Milwaukee Police Department had asked the public to call District 3 at (414) 935-7232 with any information about the child or his parents or guardians.
  • An update from WTMJ reported that the child's parent or guardian was located on Monday evening, a development that ends the public appeal and allows police to pursue standard welfare checks and any next steps.
